That, in proposed new paragraph (i.a. ) after the word " products ", the following words be inserted: - "but not so as to authorize any form of socialization of the means of production thereof ".

A short time ago, the Attorney-General (Dr. Evatt) accepted an amendmentmoved by the Leader of the Oppsition (Mr. Menzies) to prevent the conscription of members of the medical and dental professions. It is equally essential to make definite provision to prevent the socialization of primary production. That is the object of my amendment, and I hope that the Attorney-General, following the earlier precedent in this respect, will accept it.
